Fantastic traditional folk song Sounds really great if you play barre chords, and shake it up with palm muting in the verse and strumming the riff as chords/ power chords in between verses. Just make it your own. The song has the same progression through out. The solo is just a progression along the same lines as the main riff but played on the higher strings. Might also wanna hammer on at 3rd fret 6th string during the verse to get that rolling feeling going. The riff is e:---------------------------| B:---------------------------| G:---------------------------| D:---------------------------| A: 0 0 0 2 3 3 3 2 0 0 0-----| E: ----------------------3 0-| EmBy (022000@1)the margin of the ocean, EmOne (022000@1)pleasant evening in the month of June, EmWhen (022000@1)all those feathered songsters EmTheir (022000@1)pleasant notes did sweetly tune, G (320003@1) Am'Twas (x02210@1)there I spied a female C (x32010@1) EmWho (022000@1)seemed to be in grief or woe, G (320003@1) AmConversing (x02210@1)with young Bonaparte C (x32010@1) EmConcerning (022000@1)the Bonnie Bunch of Roses-O. Then up spake young Napoleon And took his mother by the hand, Saying, "Mother dear, be patient Until I'm able to take command. I'll build a mighty army And through tremendous danger go. And I never will return again Till I've conquered the Bonnie Bunch of Roses-O. "When first you saw great Bonaparte, You knelt upon your bended knee And asked your father's life of him And he granted it most mournfully. 'Twas then he took his army And o'er the frozen Alps did go; Saying, "I never will return again Until I've conquered the Bonnie Bunch of Roses-O. "He took ten hundred thousand men And kings likewise for to bear his train. He was so well provided for That he could sweep the world for gain. But when he came to Moscow He was o'erpowered by sleet and snow And with Moscow all a-blazing, He lost the Bonnie Bunch of Roses-O." "O, son, be not too venturesome, For England has a heart of oak, And England, Ireland, and Scotland, Their unity has never been broke. Remember your dear father; In Saint Helena his body it lies low, And if ever you follow after, Beware of the Bonnie Bunch of Roses-O." "O mother, dearest mother, Now I lie on my dying bed. If I lived I might have been clever, But now I rest my youthful head. And when our bones lie mouldering And weeping willows o'er us do grow, The deeds of brave Napoleon Shall conquer the Bonnie Bunch of Roses-O."
